The Gabba – Brisbane Cricket Ground

The Gentleman’s Game originated in the misty isle of England where it was first played in the 16th century and became the national sport of the country two centuries later. With the great expansion of the British Empire through colonisation, Cricket spread across the world and was adopted by countries such as Australia, India, Pakistan, New Zealand, Sri Lanka and South Africa. While the beginning of the 20th century has been fondly called the ‘Golden Age of Cricket’, tournaments between countries such as The Ashes Cup between England and Australia originated culminating in the Cricket World Cup which has been held since 1975.

Numerous countries across the world take the sport quite seriously and in Australia, Cricket is a revered pastime with a number of stadiums established for this very purpose across the country. For those residing in a hotel in Brisbane CBD, The Gabba located in Woolloongabba is the closest such stadium which has been hosting cricket matches since 1895. Prior to the establishment of the Brisbane Cricket Stadium, matches were played at the Green Hills located opposite the Victoria Barracks. The Gabba hosted its first ever match in 1896 where Parliament and The Press battled it out for supremacy. Since then numerous cricket matches have been held at The Gabba, both local and international. Therefore, when international matches take place at this stadium, it is best to make your reservations at hotels such as the Oaks Charlotte Towers as soon as possible in order to avoid disappointment.

The first international Test match at the Stadium was played in 1931 and the first One Day International match in 1979, and the grounds are still a popular location for international cricket matches. While the Stadium can accommodate around 42, 000 persons, The Gabba also host other sports such as baseball, soccer, cycling, football, greyhound races as well as concerts.
